IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Sony WF C500's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the Sony WF C500, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Sony WF C500
The Sony WF C500 have a weight of 10.8g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
have the same weight as the Sony WF C500
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Sony WF C500 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .

The Jabra Elite 7 Pro also have stereo speakers
The Sony WF C500 stay well in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background noise while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. The Sony WF C500 have a unit size of 5.8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF C500 by 0.2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
The Sony WF C500's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

newer than that of Sony WF C500
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Sony WF C500 have a 9meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
longer than that of Sony WF C500 by 1meters
Sony WF C500 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Sony WF C500 will work fine with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Sony WF C500 have 2 microphones.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of Sony WF C500 by 6
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise. The Sony WF C500 support fast charging. Usually, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to fully charge the earbuds.
